    For those of us outside the USA who have been waiting for 4+ years for this service, with no hint of it arriving in our countries, we kinda hope the service will die in the USA. Apple needs to think worldwide, and not provide services to Americans only. How many other Apple services are available in the US only?
    Which worldwide issuing bank works with every single country in the world?
    Citi
    Not even close. They are big, but not the biggest. They don't even a ground presence in half the world's countries.

    You don’t need a ground presence to issue a credit card. 
    They are in most countries. 
    Besides, Apple does not need to worry about regulations, they just slap their name on any issuer. They can also use MBNA, a big white label credit card issuer.

    I never quite understood what Apple brings to the table, other than automatic access. If someone wants a credit card that provides 1% cash back, 1st of the month billing, and a monthly budget analysis, well, then just get that and put it in Apple Wallet.

    I agree. It's like dropping a U2 album onto a hard drive. Didn't ask for it, don't want it, shouldn't be forced to.

    Better than it was, I guess. But they should have put Apple TV+ and Season Pass in top spots of the Channels section, instead of its own section above Channels. The current app is incredibly frustrating since, in the UK, not all shows included in Up Next are also available as Chanels within the Apple TV app. For example, NOW and BBC iPlayer shows are in Up Next, but you have to exit the Apple TV  app and go to the separate apps in the home page to access the channels.
    Ultimately, the App is only as good as the Channels it shows. In the UK, it would have to offer BBC, ITV, Channel 4, NOW, SKY, etc as Chanels in the app, otherwise it is useless.
